About the Item

Writing desk, Macassar ebony veneer, aluminum, Italy, 1960s This mid-century modern desk, designed and produced in Italy, reflects the essence of post-war European design principles during the 1950s and 1960s. Made from polished aluminum, the base features a concave structural design that is both elegant and sturdy. The base is defined by a graceful inward curvature that creates a concave profile when viewed from the side. Each support curves downward before splitting into four round contoured splayed legs, forming a cross-shaped base for stability. The concave shape gives the impression of lightness and fluidity, counterbalancing the solidity and angularity of the desk top. The top is rectangular and expansive, offering a generous workspace that aligns with the functional needs of mid-century office furniture. Two integrated drawers are subtly embedded beneath the surface, maintaining the desk’s minimalist look. The drawers are perfectly flush with the underside, creating a seamless design with no visible joints or interruptions. Metallic pull handles, small and understated, add a touch of functional detail while preserving the overall sleekness of the design. The top is crafted from Macassar ebony, known for its rich, dramatic grain patterns. The surface displays a striking interplay of deep chocolate brown and lighter caramel-toned streaks. Kindly note that the piece is in good, used condition with some signs of age and use. For further details, we encourage you to reach out to our team of design specialists.
